Marcel Mule was one of the most influential teachers and greatest proponents of the classical saxophone for all time. Known to many as “the Patron,” he taught at the Paris Conservatory from 1942 thru 1968. His many students have carried on the tradition in music schools around the world.
Eugene Rousseau’s book, first published in 1982, has been reformatted in a new edition, now available from Jeanne Inc. The book contains a biography of Mule’s life along with an interview conducted by Rousseau.
This volume is an important resource for all students of the saxophone.
